The Best Jig For Squid!?!

[@jimgreenwood5360]

Over 20 years ago there was an old Greek fellow at Flinders pier who caught more squid than anyone else. He used a handline ring caster with squid jigs and taught me the best tide time, water conditions, and how to use a handline and squid jig. He always used the largest jigs because they were easier to cast, and he always said they were "The Best Jigs". We fished together and whenever 1 of us had a squid on the line the other would cast to where it came from. Sometimes we would get several from the same location.

Thats awesome, the local jetty fishos certainly have a mountain of knowledge around here.

[@jimgreenwood5360]

@@nevsguidetofishing His technique was to wind in 2 or 3 times and then pause. The other technique was to walk along the pier slowly swinging your arm back and forth.

Spot on mate no need to keep a heap I think getting your bag is fine but you see a lot of people back out there the next day getting another bag not needed

[@nevsguidetofishing]

Exactly, it's getting a bit insane. I'm over these constant bag outs just for promos

[@dylandavies2847]

The best colour can change every year, used to smash the squid on a mullet colour in ppb and after 2 years no longer caught them on that colour, depends on the bait in the area I suppose

[@fedegoeswoods3142]

Thanks for another great video! Could you make one explaining how you set up the two rods? Terminal line, how you attach that to the braid you have in the reel...

[@nevsguidetofishing]

Cheers mate! I'll go over my setups in more detail soon :)

[@jimgreenwood5360]

KMart sell a Jarvis Walker plastic box of 10 squid jigs, a range of colours and sizes including 5 razorbacks, for $16. They also sell 3.0 razorbacks in packs of 3 for $6. Would be interesting to compare.

[@geoffcohen613]

Caught 2 good squid last week, in westernport on KMart lures. A bit to do with how you work the lure.

that was good Nev ... make me want to go Squiding Ha .. well done

[@seahunters4728]

Hello nev, i have been watching your videos for a while now and the squid fishing season is almost here so i bought a yo zuri red head to try and see the result. I agree with you kalamari will eat every colors they canwhat i have noticed from last year first time squid fishing (the period here is long for 2 to 3 months max in winter) is that the most important is the water colum you work your jig. sometimes they eat in the bottom so they need fats sinking jigs sometimes they prefer mid colum and they like slow diving jigs sometime when the water is merky they prefer the surface.

[@fredjeon715]

Hi Nev nice work i want to know about tide!!! today was so dirty water and i just caught only one 40cm Cal

[@noeltolentino21]

Good day mate. Another good sessions and very informative. Thank you 😊😊😊

[@nevsguidetofishing]

No worries at all mate, glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@SJames-pz7rj]

That's awesome. Got a couple of big ones a few weeks ago. Must have got some of your luck after meeting you at the boat ramp. The tip about the eggs is great to know also. Cheers nev keep em coming 👍

[@Jsdgdyebwb7363]

What boat ramp

[@nevsguidetofishing]

Thanks mate, will do :)

[@gerardcomey1308]

Hey Nev just wondering about the float rig how do you stop the float and adjust it for the depth your in but still be able to cast it with the float on the end?

[@nevsguidetofishing]

I'll go over the float rig properly in an upcoming video😀

[@eliasbahbah7284]

Love the videos man, super helpful! How do you go about using a float? Do you just have your braid to a swivel then the float on the leader side of things?

[@nevsguidetofishing]

Thanks mate :) I’ll go over the float in my detail soon, hopefully that’ll provide more clarity

Haha that’s awesome mate, appreciate ya!

[@idk-dn4ke]

do i really need an egi rod for catching squid? and if i do need one can i use soft plastics with the egi rod?

[@nevsguidetofishing]

Definitely don’t need an egi rod, a soft plastics setup will do

[@idk-dn4ke]

@@nevsguidetofishing thank you :) keep up the good work

[@frankbrookes3930]

Thanks Nev -- it's another great video. I see that different colours weren't significant results-wise on that particular day. Would you have expected a different outcome in bright sunshine? You briefly mentioned jig weight, but can you perhaps go into some more detail about weight/size in a subsequent video.

[@nevsguidetofishing]

Cheers heaps mate! Nah when you find breeding or aggressive squid jig colour doesn’t matter at all. And I can do that mate, I’ll cover squid fishing basics shorty

[@ivesneti2508]

Enjoy watching your video Nev Your favorite white color We don't have that white jigs here in New Zealand

[@CherryChauParis]

Where were you!? So cool!

[@LITHIUMINWATER]

"wasn't ink though... .. .. that was!" epic 😆

[@LeonAust]

Yamashita have a wide range of tactics to go with their colours and backing foil colours technology, backing foils of gold and silver for day, backing foils of red pink purple for morning and arvo then there is the UV Keimura glow for clear days and (Neon UV colours of Blue = Day, Green = Muddy cloudy, Red = Morn and Arvo). And the night jigs should be using a 490 glow paint that basically can go with a myriad of colours.

[@hanzelmago1307]

good day mate! you know some links where u buy those squid jigs? thanks a lot!

[@lbfishingperth]

Surprised this isn't a main channel video, Crazy session bro, Donkeys!!

[@jasminkovacevic8725]

Greetings! would you like to teach us how long the lead line is and at what length the float is placed?

[@CharlesBrown-p5j]

Great video.

[@timharriss7449]

Great video Nev. How far off shore are you in that spot? Looks tantalisingv close for land based. BTW another land based video would be great too. 🎣

[@nevsguidetofishing]

Land based videos will be on the way 👌🏼 Was only 100ish meters off the beach most likely haha

[@StaLiftin]

where is this spot?

[@johnnyairways]

how can u tell if they have eggs ?

[@Pelagis]

hey mate i like ur shimano jig where i can buy something like that ,can u put link on it ?ty

[@jacknielsen-km7jw]

can someone share me the link of the white squidjig with the ratlle and flashbolt

[@SaltEnjoyer007]

Dam, Wish were I live it would be like that. 15 years ago it was good but with overfishing with nets its killing everything.

[@김승훈-c7p]

Wanna go fishing to the fishery farm where you do it ... every creatures grow insanely in Aussie...by the way it's such a good informative fishing video ever...

[@Santa-22]

What does a squid look like with eggs. Love your vids

[@nevsguidetofishing]

White egg type dots near the squids mouth, very noticeable when they’ve got them

[@liam-fk5yd]
